NY Giants’ John Harbaugh raises stakes ahead of TNF against Commanders: ‘This is for all the marbles’
John Harbaugh cues the New York Giants for a pivotal Thursday Night Football showdown against the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium. With the NFC East split 1‑1 after a 27‑27 overtime tie on Oct. 11, the game serves as a de facto tiebreaker. Harbaugh stresses the stakes, while the Giants aim to leverage home‑field advantage and secure their sixth win. Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn returns to face his former unit, and rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy makes his first start at MetLife, adding intrigue to the high‑risk contest.
Giancarlo Stanton set for NY Yankees spring training, GM Brian Cashman confirms
Yankees GM Brian Cashman quashes trade rumors and confirms veteran slugger Giancarlo Stanton will report to spring training in February, solidifying his role as the team's primary designated hitter for 2027. Despite an injury‑shortened 2026 season, Stanton remains under his 13‑year, $325 million contract through 2027, with a $25 million annual luxury‑tax hit. Cashman also hinted at potential blockbuster moves, noting Ryan Weathers and Anthony Volpe could be trade pieces for a Texas Rangers star, while the club eyes NPB talent like Teruaki Sato and Shoki Oda.
NY Yankees: Shoki Oda rumors swirl but Brian Cashman’s offseason comments offer little clarity
Yankees GM Brian Cashman remains vague about rumored talks with 18‑year‑old Japanese right‑hander Shoki Oda, who threw a fastball topping 97 mph at Koshien and boasts a dominant splitter. Cashman defers to the club’s international scouting staff, hinting interest but offering no confirmation. New York also eyes NPB third baseman Teruaki Sato as part of a broader offseason overhaul. If the Yankees lock up Oda—bypassing NPB and signing him under amateur bonus pool rules—they could add elite rotation upside without draft‑pick or luxury‑tax costs, competing with the Dodgers and Mets. The franchise hasn’t signed a Japanese amateur or posting talent since Masahiro Tanaka in 2014.
NY Giants report reveals Jonathan Taylor wasn’t the only star RB wanted by John Harbaugh
Ahead of the trade deadline, John Harbaugh’s New York Giants pursued Jonathan Taylor and also probed Atlanta Falcons star Bijan Robinson, according to insider Jordan Raanan. Despite interest in other high‑profile players like Jeffery Simmons and DeForest Buckner, no deals materialized, leaving the RB depth chart unchanged. Cam Skattebo stays as RB1, with Devin Singletary as his backup and Gregory Desrosiers in a limited role. The Giants, atop the NFC East, gear up for Thursday Night Football against Washington on Nov. 12, followed by games versus Jacksonville, Indianapolis, San Francisco, and Seattle.
Raiders make final decision on Fernando Mendoza after trading Kirk Cousins to Vikings
The Las Vegas Raiders trade veteran Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings and promote rookie No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza to starting quarterback. Coach John Spytek praises Mendoza’s work ethic and leadership, while offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak highlights Cousins as a valuable mentor. Mendoza, who saw limited action in Week 5 (6‑of‑8 passes for 48 yards, 89.6 rating), will make his first start on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026, against the Seattle Seahawks at Allegiant Stadium, aiming to secure the Raiders’ fifth win and keep them in AFC West contention.
NY Yankees’ Brian Cashman on Aaron Judge injury recovery: ‘He does not want to hear that’
Ahead of the Winter Meetings, Yankees GM Brian Cashman says Aaron Judge will likely need designated‑hitter duty in 2027 to protect his health after a moderate‑grade right calf (soleus) strain on Sept. 16 against the Twins that cost him the postseason. Judge, who also recovered from a rib stress fracture, wants to play every day, but the front office stresses durability. The club is also scouting external help, including Japanese pitcher Shoki Oda, as it reshapes a roster still reeling from injuries to Judge and Max Fried and seeks to end its championship drought.
NY Giants’ John Harbaugh provides significant injury update on JJ McCarthy ahead of TNF vs Commanders
Giants head coach John Harbaugh says quarterback J.J. McCarthy is expected to suit up for Thursday Night Football against the Washington Commanders after a hard hit in Week 9. The 18‑year‑old took a spine‑rattling collision from Eagles defender Zack Baun that was diagnosed as a hip injury, but Harbaugh reports he looked fine in practice and should be cleared to play. The Giants, sitting comfortably atop the NFC East, also have backup quarterback Jameis Winston ready, while wide receiver Cam Skattebo continues recovering from a hamstring strain. A win over Washington would bolster New York’s momentum heading into a four‑game stretch that begins with a home game against Jacksonville on Nov 22.
Why isn’t Connor Hellebuyck playing for NJ Devils vs Jets today, November 10?
The New Jersey Devils rest veteran goalie Connor Hellebuyck for his first matchup against his former club, the Winnipeg Jets, on November 10. GM Sunny Mehta says the decision is about workload management and conditioning, not injury, after Hellebuyck logged three starts in six nights, including a 23‑save shutout of Toronto. Jake Allen will start in his place. Hellebuyck, who requested a trade and was dealt to New Jersey on Oct. 23 for Dawson Mercer, Nico Daws, Nick Bjugstad and draft picks, is slated to return on Nov. 12 versus Washington. The move aims to keep him fresh for the upcoming stretch.
Cam Skattebo offers hope to NY Giants after failed Jonathan Taylor trade
The New York Giants miss out on a trade for Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor as Indianapolis demands a blockbuster offer, despite multiple teams offering a second‑round pick. Instead, the Giants protect their 2027 draft capital, having already traded a fourth‑rounder for receiver Malachi Fields and a fifth‑rounder for quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Backup back Cam Skattebo steps up, confirming he will play Thursday against the Washington Commanders after a hamstring injury, and vows to become "one of the most dangerous backs in the league," offering fans hope after the trade disappointment.
NY Giants RB depth chart after lack of moves at 2026 NFL trade deadline
The New York Giants keep their backfield unchanged after the 2026 trade deadline, leaving Cam Skattebo as the RB1, veteran Devin Singletary as the primary backup, and Gregory Desrosiers in a limited role. A rumored acquisition of Colts star Jonathan Taylor fell apart due to a steep price, so he will not join the Giants this season. Coach John Harbaugh continues to prioritize the run, maintaining over 28 rushing attempts per game—ranking the team in the NFL’s top ten mid‑season.
Chiefs WR depth chart updated after Josh Downs trade deadline move
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the trade deadline to add slot receiver Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts. Downs replaces the slot role on Patrick Mahomes' offense, while Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy remain at the X and Z positions. Kansas City gave up a 2027 fourth‑ and fifth‑round pick and received a seventh‑rounder in return. Injured reserve list includes Tyquan Thornton and Jeff Caldwell, and Xavier Worthy is listed as questionable. Downs thanked Indy fans on X after the move, signaling a fresh boost for the Chiefs' stretch‑run receiving corps.
Kirk Cousins traded: Vikings, Raiders QB depth charts updated
The Minnesota Vikings pull off a deadline‑day blockbuster, trading a 2027 third‑round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders for quarterback Kirk Cousins. Cousins becomes the starter, pushing Carson Wentz to backup and Max Brosmer to third string, while the Raiders promote Fernando Mendoza to starter with Aidan O’Connell as QB2. Minnesota had considered Daniel Jones, Geno Smith, Drew Lock and Mac Jones before settling on Cousins as a plug‑and‑play fit for Kevin O’Connell’s offense. The move instantly reshapes both teams’ QB depth charts.
Red Wings interim GM addresses Dylan Larkin’s situation regarding 10-team trade list
Interim GM Shawn Horcoff says any Dylan Larkin trade must benefit Detroit, emphasizing the need for assets that help a team stuck at the bottom of the Atlantic Division. Larkin submitted a 10‑team no‑trade list—Florida, Minnesota, Vegas, Carolina, Colorado, Dallas, New Jersey, Tampa Bay, Utah, and Washington—excluding the Boston Bruins and all Canadian markets. Horcoff stresses a win‑win deal and urges immediate improvement for Todd McLellan’s squad while protecting the Red Wings’ future.
Chiefs get update on Tyreek Hill as free agent WR comes back from injury
Tyreek Hill remains a free agent as he awaits medical clearance after a dislocated knee and torn ligaments suffered on September 29, 2025. Agent Drew Rosenhaus told The Pat McAfee Show the star WR should be cleared in a few weeks, opening the door for any of the 32 NFL teams—especially the Kansas City Chiefs—to sign him. The Chiefs currently rely on Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Jalen Royals in Patrick Mahomes’ passing game, with deeper options like Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio. Hill’s rehab includes specialist treatment in Germany, and his return could reshape the Chiefs’ receiving corps once cleared.
NY Yankees reportedly set to bolster third base, with Teruaki Sato among top targets
The New York Yankees are targeting Japanese slugger Teruaki Sato to fix their third‑base woes ahead of the 2026 season. Sato, the 27‑year‑old Hanshin Tigers third baseman, captured the Central League Triple Crown with a .306 average, 39 homers and 106 RBIs, and was posted for MLB teams in November. Yankees manager Aaron Boone and GM Brian Cashman hope Sato can replace a bench‑capped .213 average and sub‑.640 OPS at the hot corner, where last year’s options like Ryan McMahon and Oswaldo Cabrera fell short.
Jerry Jones reveals Dak Prescott’s stay with Dallas Cowboys was never in jeopardy
Jerry Jones tells Bolavip that Dak Prescott’s future in Dallas is secure, denying trade rumors despite the Cowboys’ ongoing Super Bowl drought. Jones highlighted Prescott’s health, noting he’s “relatively healthy,” and pointed out that two‑thirds of his contract makes a move illogical. Prescott has thrown for over 2,300 yards and 16 touchdowns in the first nine games of the 2026 season, keeping the Cowboys in the NFC East race. The franchise’s last championship was Super Bowl XXX on Jan. 28, 1996.
Phillies reportedly make decision on Trea Turner, Brandon Marsh ahead of offseason
The Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly preparing to trade shortstop Trea Turner and outfielder Brandon Marsh this offseason, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. The moves aim to free payroll and roster space for a push to acquire Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal and other high‑profile targets, including interest in Dodgers slugger Teoscar Hernández. Potential suitors for Turner include the San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels and Detroit Tigers, while Marsh could land with the Cleveland Guardians, Kansas City Royals or Pittsburgh Pirates. The trades would strip the Phillies of Turner's speed and Marsh’s defensive grit but signal an aggressive winter strategy.
Tarik Skubal report fuels NY Mets fans’ hopes of signing the ace, among Dodgers’ reported interest
Tarik Skubal’s free‑agency future sparks a three‑way race as the New York Mets emerge as the front‑runners, with the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees still in contention. The Mets’ lead is driven by Jon Heyman’s report, while former teammate Blake Snell backs a Dodgers move. Industry insiders project a seven‑ to eight‑year contract worth $340‑$360 million, setting a new premium for ace starters. The Chicago Cubs also appear in peripheral trade talks, but the Mets appear poised to win the sweepstakes ahead of the 2027 season.
NY Giants’ John Harbaugh clarifies stance on any potential trade acquisition status ahead of TNF
Giants head coach John Harbaugh says any trade‑deadline addition won’t be ready for Thursday Night Football against Washington on Nov. 10. He cautions that a new player would need at least a week to practice before debuting, so the focus shifts to the Week 11 home game versus Jacksonville after a bye. While rumors swirl about a possible Jonathan Taylor pickup, Harbaugh notes the team won’t trade away players unless they feel comfortable for the upcoming game. The Giants sit 5‑2‑1, leading the NFC East over Dallas and aiming to clinch the division with a win over the Commanders.
Starting and backup QBs on Vikings vs Bills depth charts today for 2026 NFL Week 9 MNF
Both the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills sit at 6‑1 as they clash on Monday Night Football in Week 9. A hamstring strain sidelines starter Kyler Murray, prompting Kevin O’Connell to start veteran Carson Wentz, with rookie Max Brosmer as his backup. Wentz has been solid in limited action, completing 23 of 39 passes for 276 yards and three touchdowns. The Bills stick with star quarterback Josh Allen, while veteran Kyle Allen serves as the backup. The updated depth charts highlight the quarterback shift that could shape the primetime showdown at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Why isn’t Kyler Murray playing tonight for Vikings vs Bills on MNF in 2026 NFL Week 9?
Kyler Murray misses the Vikings' Monday Night Football showdown with the Buffalo Bills in Week 9 due to a hamstring strain diagnosed after his soreness in the Week 8 loss to Detroit. Coach Kevin O’Connell confirms Murray is week‑to‑week and will sit out at least this game, with veteran Carson Wentz slated to start and rookie Max Brosmer as backup. Murray stayed in the Lions game but hurt his hamstring on a 9‑yard read‑option run. The Vikings hope he could return for the November 15 road contest against the Green Bay Packers, though no date is set.
Blackhawks reportedly lurking to get Connor Bedard help amid Dylan Larkin’s trade rumors
The Chicago Blackhawks, mired in a six‑game losing streak and near the bottom of the standings, are aggressively hunting elite offensive help for star center Connor Bedard. GM Kyle Davidson is reportedly willing to part with multiple future first‑round picks to land a top‑tier forward, with Dylan Larkin of Detroit initially named as a target—even though Larkin’s trade list excludes Chicago. The club also eyes Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov, despite his hefty contract demands, and younger scorers like Trevor Zegras or Martin Necas. While a marquee addition could boost the power play and push Chicago toward a wild‑card spot, analysts warn it won’t solve deeper defensive and goaltending woes.
Dak Prescott challenges NY Giants, remains confident Cowboys can make a playoff run
After a win over the Indianapolis Colts, Dak Prescott says the Dallas Cowboys have what it takes to clinch a playoff spot despite trailing the New York Giants in the NFC East (Giants 5-2-1, Cowboys 4-5). Prescott praises the front office and stresses it’s now on the players. The Cowboys face a three‑home‑game stretch starting Sunday, Nov. 15 at the 49ers, then the Titans (Nov. 22) and a Thanksgiving showdown with the Eagles (Nov. 26). Their last playoff run ended in a 48‑32 loss to Green Bay in Jan. 2024.
Andy Reid provides clearer picture on Patrick Mahomes’ elbow injury after Jets vs Chiefs
After a hard hit to his throwing elbow in the Chiefs' 38-7 win over the New York Jets, quarterback Patrick Mahmore is listed as day‑to‑day, coach Andy Reid says. Early imaging shows no ligament damage, and Mahomes finished the game with two touchdowns, staying in good spirits. Reid notes rehab will focus on managing soreness, with practice limits still undecided. The Chiefs aim to keep their offensive core healthy as the trade deadline approaches.
Todd McLellan addresses Red Wings’ captaincy vacancy amid Dylan Larkin’s potential departure
Coach Todd McLellan still hasn’t named a new Detroit Red Wings captain after stripping Dylan Larkin of the “C” on September 11, 2026. McLellan says the vacancy isn’t a leadership void, but an opportunity for others to step up. The front office is eyeing defenseman Moritz Seider, the 25‑year‑old German who anchors Detroit’s blue line, as the front‑runner, with forward Lucas Raymond, veteran alternates Andrew Copp and Alex DeBrincat also in the mix. Larkin, the team’s 37th captain since 2021, requested a trade during the 2026 offseason, prompting his removal.
